Rated 5 out of 5

Give it a Turn(stile).

Upon opening, the Turnstile mic is packaged nicely. The carry case gives it a classy appeal. I appreciate the different jacks, accommodating lightning and usb-c connections. The mic also allows for direct audio monitoring with headphones. The versatility of using it on a smartphone, iPad, or my Sony A7 2 is the selling point.

About Turnstile Audio TASC500

PRO REVIEW by Mike Sutton, Actor and Producer

"The TASC500 Shotgun Microphone is the natural setup from the TASC300 mic, it’s got clean sound, just as compact to stay out of shots and it has even more useful features. First, it mounts with a cold shoe mount on your camera or smartphone holder but here is the good stuff, it has a level control knob and a digital out. "

The included windsock keeps out the outside noise you don’t want, while the mic picks up the audio you do. The included cold shoe shock mount prevents the mic from picking up extraneous handling noise, while the high-quality fuzzy windsock keeps unwanted background noise at bay. Best of all, the microphone does not need an additional microphone pre-amplifier: just plug it in and go create.
